price for 2 decks now dropped to $55!

this is thread number 380,609.  Assuming we could just convert the text of a thread ...   like we wrote a program to do it ...  suppose there is 10k of text, on an average thread ...    3 gigs.  Doable.  

Assuming 1 image per thread that is 1 meg:  380 gigs.  Getting tougher, but still doable.  It might be that this will end up at 2 tb.

And then people say that when there is an HD image available, they want that.  I would guess it would be about 5x bigger.  


And, this would be for your private, personal use.  Not for resale and not for some weird piracy thing.

And we haven't even started talking about the products.  


The short answer is:  we have never made anything like that.  It sounds like it is possible, but it would be a huge amount of work.  

you mention "miracle gro" (only you spelled it wrong).  

I can see that that post generated a message sent to pointing out

Permies aspires to "better than organic" principles

Are you thinking that "miracle gro" is "better than organic"?

volcano road improvements ...

I described it many times, and andres made this handy sketch


(the steepness is exaggerated to make the point a bit clearer)

The problem is that with the steep spots, a 2WD rig spins its wheels and cannot get up the road.  The mission has been to eliminate the steep spots - which I think we did quite well!

Lookit volcano road!  It used to be kinda up and down ... like a roller coaster.  Making some spots steep enough that 2WD rigs would struggle.  I think this looks sooooo good now!

A couple of years ago, we put in the order to have a well drilled.  The drilling company said that for that spot we would need a giant flat spot for the well drilling equipment.  So we used our 14 ton excavator to chisel away at the rock.  The well was drilled



The result is a relatively flat spot with a lot of big, sharp rocks, and a well, with pump house at one end.  

Last year, Seth started dropping off some nice soft sand from arrakis, so the site would be a little easier on the toes.





We talked about building some really tall hugelkultur there, so estaban starting collecting wood.

And then our "jumbo supporter" rented a huge excavator for us and we started building some really tall hugelkulturs





We need to finish the hugelkulturs, plant them, smooth out the spot ...    

We already have a water hydrant there.  We are currently adding electrical outlets.  

Soon, this spot, Fukuoka Flat, will need a rig parked there to try it all out!

We've eaten a lot of the apples in the last couple of weeks.  And there are still plenty!
